I found myself at the edge of a cliff Contemplating how and why I lacked happiness Was it the fact that I had no place to call my home Or that I was a beggar and alone A gaping hole inside my heart That was slowly ripping me apart And I was ready to end it I was ready to call it quits It was time to silence the evil that existed In me Anxiety and depression rushed over me And at the point of desolation I fell into restoration By the grace of God He met me where I was In my weakness he became my strength And I won't forget In my weakness he became my strength In my emptiness he made whole And nothing else matters Not the pain not the vain I held in my heart I was set free by the one I considered my enemy The one who was a mystery was now more clear to me then the very breath that enters my lungs
Breathe
Redemption
Now as I write down my past and I think of how far I've come I can't help but to reflect on what's been done to see my through my darkest days and in many ways I can't believe that I'm alive And I hold my head up high Knowing Jesus is truly who he says he is So why live in fear why tremble when evil is near Think about it The God who created the universe is love He showed it when he hung upon the cross for us And this means everything to the one who's been forgiven much and that displays me Forgiven portrays me That was me in the lowlands fighting off my sexual addiction to pornography -set free That was me as a wayward man steeped in drugs and alcohol a menace to society-set free That was me in the ruins of my own flesh seeking to be free seeking to be me -set free Now I am a husband and a father with a second chance at life So with joy I seek to praise the risen king with everything inside of me
